Goals? goals help me achieve my purpose. In my home based business for example I've been meaning to set up a website for a while now. But because I've set a goal to have it done this financial year I've gone and done it. Otherwise like all the years before I would never have done it And thus my business would still be in the same rut Of not moving forward.
My General goal in life is to be a good person and to do the right thing by others. to be reasonable and to be good.
Here's a Goal if you live in the USA- Nov.4th VOTE!
When we are old and reflect on our life, it would be nice to say.....
" i loved deeply, lived fully, and managed to let the W.T go"
Eat drink and be merry.
That is biblical advice from Solomon
Ecclesiates Ecclesiastes 8:15
I voted by mail here in Florida.
It is good to be at peace with onself and others.
I lived and live as fully as my budjet allows.
What I can't afford to do I watch on tv.
Mainly travel
I would like to leave something behind for posterity
but at 62 years it seems kind of unlikely.
I would like to live to 100.
I'll shoot for the stars and maybe end up on the moon.
The only input I have is diet and exercise and to a degree staying out of the way of moving objects.
Going against my goal, I ride a motorcycle from time to time.
To have a free mind, free from illusion,
seems easier said than done.
But a nobel goal.
If anyone ever figures out how to do it.
Please tell us here.
I think that reading some of the scriptures from Epikure (ancient greek philosofer) could give you an answer of what many of us like to do with our lifes in our new freedom.
Bugbear
James Brown you ask how a person can have a freemind, free from illusion.
Well have you ever seen a domestic cat sitting in a chair. Mabe that's a poor example.
Or maybe it's the journey of developing a peaceful mind, with self control. And this" developing" a freemind, free from illusion, is always only a journey.
New hope and happiness.
I think by your comment to me that you are on the right track
and on your way to developing a peaceful mind.
Power to you.
Thanks James Brown.
Life would be very stressful if wr have to many goals:/

b. exsperience goals
c.travel goals
d. business goals
e. romantic goals
F. SPELLING GOALS
g. physical goals
h.family goals
i Inheritance goals.
,ect,ect,ect,ect.........
It all seems a bit stressful doesn't it. To become a calmer and a more balanced person seems much more obtainable.
My goal is not to start threads i realize i wont have time to control.
Trying to control a thread seems like an illusion.
